Mitt Romney is running again.

[pnwmom]

That's why he's out in front now saying that he's for a higher minimum, and that the Rethugs are the pro-job, pro-higher wage party, and that's how they should reach out to minorities.

Just my opinion.

[Dawgs]

1. You're probably correct, but no way he can take over minimum wage from Democrats.

Obama and the Democrat party already own that issue. And, too many in Republican party are against it.

[Scuba]

8. When every TV and radio station, and newspaper, are "reporting" that Republicans ...

... are the ones backing labor and a minimum wage increase, and that the Democrats are anti-labor, a whole bunch of people will believe it.

It's good to own all the media.

[Dawgs]

10. Never happen.

Republicans HAVE ALWAYS hated the idea of the minimum wage because their corporate masters are the ones that would suffer.

You're naive if you think that Republicans will suddenly back something the rich and powerful hate.

[Scuba]

11. I never said they'd back it, just claim that they did.

[Dawgs]

12. Sorry, but that makes no sense.

How do you claim something that you don't back?

[Scuba]

13. Republicans aren't burdened by the need for facts to back up what they say.

[Dawgs]

14. That still doesn't make any sense.

You're reaching.

[Scuba]

15. Think "Blue Sky Act" and "No Child Left Behind".

When you own all the media you can invent your own "truth".

[Dawgs]

17. Exactly! 'No Child Left Behind' was supported and pushed by the Republicans.

There is ZERO chance they would ever get behind, push, or support the minimum wage.. EVER!!!!!

Romney does not equal the republican party.

[Scuba]

18. And No Child Left Behind left all the poor children behind, by design. Get it?

They'll not support a raise to the minimum wage, just claim that they do. The press won't report on their historical positions nor ask them any hard questions.

[Dawgs]

24. No. They won't claim that they do.

They'll be against it, just like always.

[2pooped2pop]

30. yep

they repeat the lie, the people believe the lie. Most still think the news has to tell the truth.

[woodsprite]

2. He'll have a damned hard time coming up with real proof that they're pro-job or pro-higher wage. n/t

[Scuba]

9. They don't need proof, they own the media.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. At some point, I bet he'll Etch-A-Sketch on that issue.

They Republicans haven't a leg to stand on saying they are pro jobs.

[Blue Owl]

4. Waiting for the other Mitt to drop

Like a lead balloon!

[lostincalifornia]

5. agreed, but he won't win his party's nomination. He is a looooooooser

[CK_John]

6. Just wait until "moderate Mitt" co-op's ACA and starts taking credit with Romneycare.

He will be the candidate and I would give him a 60/40 chance to be POTUS.

[BainsBane]

7. Even the GOP isn't stupid enough to nominate him again

Hang it up Mitt and go back to your mansions and car elevators.

[MohRokTah]

16. Never overestimate the stupidity of the GOP.

Never.

[Bobbie Jo]

19. Some delusions never die.

Please proceed, governor.

[UTUSN]

20. R#1 for bwah-ha-HAH, it must be Comedy News day, another item: GOHMERT thinks COMCAST

is trying to keep BecKKK off the air!1

[MosheFeingold]

21. AWESOME!!!!

The Republican base hates Romney and a fair amount stayed home last election.

He has so many conflicting positions that he is easy to do attack ads against.

Romney = President Warren.

Count me in as a supporter of Romney for the Repug nomination!

[WillyT]

22. Has He Told His Wife ??? - Mitt's Gonna Hit The Fan...

[Jamaal510]

23. Running where?

Around in circles inside his car elevator?

[The Second Stone]

25. He certainly is setting himself up for running again

but he wouldn't get the nomination again.

[tritsofme]

26. I would bet a lot of money on him not running again.

[Gothmog]

27. I have been predicting this for some time

After bridgegate, the GOP donor class needs a candidate. Jeb is very flawed and would not be acceptable to the teabaggers in the base. Mitt may well be "drafted" and these recent public appearances are simply a way to facilitate such a comeback.

[3catwoman3]

28. Once was more than enough.

He certainly has been popping up everywhere of late. Gives me the creeps every time.

[herding cats]

29. He said this morning he's not running in 2016

My thoughts are he will be endorsing Jeb Bush this time around.

[Aerows]

35. He says one thing and does another so often

I'm pretty sure even HE doesn't know what he is going to do five minutes from now.

[customerserviceguy]

31. I don't see him spending time and money on the primaries

But I can see him positioning himself as the go-to guy if there's a brokered Rethug convention. I have a hard time seeing anyone on their side being able to line up a majority by convention time, each likely candidate is only attractive to a faction of the Repuke party, and anathema to the rest of them.

He could say, "Well, the last time we had a majority for someone to face the Democratic Party, I was the choice, and if you make that choice again, this time I won't hold back, I'll put most of my millions into it."

He knows how much that 47% comment hurt him, and he's taking an early opportunity to attempt to backpedal from it.

[maddezmom]

33. Who is president fake tears?

[Aerows]

34. Mitt Romney is so duplicitous

that HE doesn't even know what he stands for, and is perfectly comfortable with that, until he isn't and is a staunch "stand for the other thing."
